This game is about playing one small part in a
much larger story. You only live an hour, but time and space in this
game is infinite. You can only do so much in one lifetime, but the tech
tree in this game will take hundreds of generations to fully explore.
This game is also about family trees. Having a mother who takes care of
you as a baby, and hopefully taking care of a baby yourself later in
life. And your mother is another player. And your baby is another
player. Building something to use in your lifetime, but inevitably
realizing that, in the end, what you build is not for YOU, but for your
children and all the countless others that will come after you. Proudly
using your grandmother's ax, and then passing it on to your own
grandchild as the end of your life nears. And looking at each life as a
unique story. I was this kid born in this situation, but I eventually
grew up. I built a bakery near the wheat fields. Over time, I watched
my grandmother and mother grow old and die. I had some kids of my own
along the way, but they are grown now... and look at my character now!
She's an old woman. What a life passed by in this little hour of mine.
After I die, this life will be over and gone forever. I can be born
again, but I can never live this unique story again. Everything's
changing. I'll be born as a different person in a different place and
different time, with another unique story to experience in the next
hour...
